(4 out of 5 stars)

"This film / documentary has an excellent viewpoint - which is that everyone has a viewpoint (story). There are many viewpoints here. I particularly liked the introduction by Susan Sarandon. The Da Vinci Code was a good story. It may not be "history" - but does raise interesting questions. People can check out the "facts." Secrets of the Code will increase the conversation.I think many philosophers and mystics would agree --Everything is a story --- Even God.
